The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(91)

A tear suddenly burst out of the corner of Fucheng's eyes, but when he raised his head to look at the sky, the wind disappeared as soon as he breathed.

Therefore, he could obviously invite Concubine Hu here, but it violated his original intention of being a slave. He thought that even if His Highness was sober, he would definitely be willing to do this.

Yao Niang stayed inside for two hours before coming out.

During this period, Fucheng and Yuchan pushed the door open countless times, but both endured it.

Yao Niang lowered her head and pushed out the door. Fucheng and Yuchan immediately approached her.

"How is your highness?"

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Yao Niang shook her head, pulled Yu Chan aside and whispered a few words. Yu Chan blushed and went over to tell Fucheng that His Highness's swelling had gone down. As for the specific condition, Dr. Liu Liang would have to see it or wait until the person wakes up to find out.

Then the two of them left. Fucheng looked at Yao Niang's leaving figure, shook his head, and then walked towards the back room.

Dr. Liu Liang, who had previously said he would go back to prepare medicine, quietly went to the small courtyard to find Grandma Mu.

After listening to Dr. Liu Liang's explanation, Grandma Mu frowned and said nothing.

Dr. Liu Liang said anxiously: "This prescription should be fine in theory, but for some reason, His Highness took it and not only had no relief, but actually made the condition more serious. Of course, there is also the reason why the relief is not enough, but absolutely It shouldn’t be like this.”

Aunt Mu pondered for a moment: "If the prescription is fine but the medicine doesn't work, is there something wrong?" The reason why she asked this was because she believed in Dr. Liu Liang's medical skills more than Fucheng. .

At that time, Concubine De was seriously ill and relied on Dr. Liu Liang's strange prescriptions to support the birth of King Jin. After a few years, the talent was gone.

"This -" Dr. Liu Liang smiled bitterly: "It stands to reason that this prescription should be fine. I have been working on this prescription ever since Your Highness was poisoned. Although medical skills are limited and cannot completely cure the poison, it should be possible. Delay effect. Even if it can't be delayed, His Highness can keep his mind clear after taking it, and he will never lose his mind and become crazy.

"Mommy, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Now I'm starting to doubt whether I can make it. There has been no good news in the capital. His Highness's condition is getting worse day by day. When Concubine De was leaving, she repeatedly asked us to be careful. Your Highness..."

These words made Mother Mu fall silent. She sighed and advised: "You should not think about these things now, but should think about how to cure His Highness."

Dr. Liu Liang sighed deeply and cheered up: "Yes. So I came here to ask grandma to give me some more of the little princess's blood. I will take it back and try it."

Of course, Mother Mu knew his purpose, but when she thought about the blood at the bottom of the bowl, she still felt a little distressed: "Can you not use the blood and use something else instead? The little princess is too young to bear such repeated occurrences."

"If I could, I wouldn't have put in so much effort. This medicine all refers to the blood. The blood of the little princess is the main medicine. It is the first time for His Highness and Concubine Hu to obtain it..."

Dr. Liu Liang began to explain at length again, but Grandma Mu felt excited.

She suddenly interrupted: "If you want to take it, take it. Even if I don't want to give it up, Your Highness is the most important thing." After saying that, she asked Yuyan to bring the little princess over and take blood for Dr. Liu Liang.

After Dr. Liu Liang left, Yuyan was about to send the little princess back to be fed by the wet nurse. Mother Mu suddenly stopped her and asked her to bring the little princess over to show her.

Mother Mu took the sleeping little princess and patted her in her arms before reaching out to look at her earlobes.

There is none on the left or right.

Mother Mu silently retracted her hand, looked at the little princess's face again, and fell into deep thought.

"Mommy..."

Mother Mu came to her senses, handed the little princess over to her, and Yu Yan went down.

Aunt Mu has stayed in the palace for decades and understands women's temperaments very well.

They can be the weakest in the world, and a slightly bigger wind is enough to make their beauty disappear. But when they become ruthless, they can also be the most ruthless.

In order to win favor, what means can't be used? In order to defeat the opponent, they can resort to all kinds of sinister means and use everything available. The most common people who died in the palace were women, eunuchs, and sometimes children.

Born, unborn, and still a mass of blood and flesh, I don’t know how many fetuses were lost. It is self-evident how important the emperor's heir is to the royal family, so naturally he will hit the vital points directly.

Likewise, there are naturally those who pretend to be emperors...

Aunt Mu couldn't help but think of a story she heard when she was a little palace maid about Taizu's affair when he was still in power.

Ever since the fake one almost ascended to the throne, the royal family has paid special attention to the issue of heirs. Emperor Gaozu didn't even know what kind of secret medicine he took. From then on, all men from the royal family with the surname Zhao would have an easy-to-identify mark, that is, there would be a red mole behind the earlobe.

But girls don't seem to have a specific one, some have it and some don't.

The reason why Aunt Mu knew this was because when Concubine De gave birth to Prince Jin, one of the concubines deliberately spread the rumor that Prince Jin was not the biological child of Emperor Hongjing. Because everyone in the palace knew that Concubine De was in poor health, how could she give birth to an heir with her body and bones.

You said that the stomach can never be faked, the imperial physician checked the pulse, and the eunuch’s record in the Jingsi Room?

Nothing is impossible in the palace. Once a concubine is pregnant, she rarely goes out. Why don't you go and lift other people's clothes to see her? Not to mention the imperial physicians, who were involved in some of the harem's secret affairs. As for the records of the Jingsi Room, women give birth sooner or later. Apart from estimating the approximate days, there is no way to count them.

Therefore, when it comes to rights, there is nothing simple.

On the surface, Emperor Hongjing expressed his trust in Concubine De, but privately he ordered his confidant eunuchs to visit the infant King Jin. Grandma Mu was nearby at the time, and she understood the cleverness of this.

When the little princess was born, Mother Mu had seen it. But some girls had it and some didn't, so she didn't take it to heart.

But after Dr. Liu Liang made this happen, she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart.

After all, she had always been choking on Concubine Hu's origins. Although King Jin had said when he brought Concubine Hu back that she was a virgin, but...

Aunt Mu frowned.

Chapter 73

Fucheng entered the back room and looked up to see King Jin's eyes open on the bed.

His eyes were still blood-red, but they seemed much better than before. At least there was energy in his eyes.

"Your Highness?" He whispered tentatively.

King Jin grunted, and Fucheng was overjoyed, knowing that His Highness was fine, at least for the time being. He hurriedly went up to untie the brocade belt tied to King Jin's arm.

This Madam Su is really capable. If he hadn't known that His Highness was with Concubine Hu that time, he would have thought that Madam Su was the medicine introducer.

"Madam was here just now, madam..." Fucheng babbled while looking at King Jin's face.

King Jin didn't say anything. Of course he knew she was coming and leaving again. The correct thing to say is that he woke up early and heard her say that she liked him.

The originally chaotic brain suddenly became clearer at that moment. He had said nonsense to her so many times, but found that it was still the most beautiful thing to say it willingly.

pity--

There was a knot between her and him, a knot that she could never untie, nor was she willing to untie. So she seemed gentle and submissive, and seemed to be trying to flatter him, but in fact she was always resisting him.

She couldn't walk away or get rid of it all. She hid it all quietly and carried it heavily on her heart, intending to carry it for the rest of her life.

In fact, he secretly visited Rongxiyuan twice in the past few days and saw her sitting silently in front of the window. He wanted to tell her countless times that in fact, the king did not care.

It's not that the salesman turned into an unknown villain, let alone killing him, even if that person is not the original one, there is nothing to care about.

Not that one!

He said this over and over again in his heart, but he still couldn't deceive himself. As long as he thought that there was someone who tasted the nanny like him, tasting it very carefully, and tasted every part, he felt like destroying everything. , bloodthirsty impulse.

Wait a little longer, wait until his poison is cured...

After Taoshan left, Concubine Hu locked herself in the room alone.

It was shut down for a whole afternoon.

When it was time to turn on the lamp, Taohong opened the door and walked in.

"Empress..."

Concubine Hu finally came back to her senses, her face a little pale.

"It's time for dinner."

Concubine Hu was rarely silent, nodded, and Taohong went out to make arrangements.

Not long after, dinner was served in the second room. On the Eight Immortals table made of rosewood, there was a table full of dishes, including things that flew in the sky, things that ran on the ground, and things that swam in the water.

Perhaps because of her humble background, Concubine Hu was very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation after she became a concubine, and she wanted the best in everything. Fortunately, Prince Jin's Mansion was considered a very wealthy place, so naturally he couldn't treat her badly.

Concubine Hu not only pays attention to these things, but also pays attention to dignity. She has to be served by several maids for every meal. These girls were wearing neat and decent clothes. They were all green and well behaved. At first glance, they were not maids that could be used by ordinary wealthy families.

Looking at everything in the room, Concubine Hu suddenly felt completely clear in her heart, and she no longer panicked.

No matter what, she doesn't want to lose it all!

After finishing their meal, they returned to the inner room. Concubine Hu screened away the others, leaving only Taohong.

"I want to go out for a trip."

Taohong's eyes flashed and she asked, "Does the empress want to go out to burn incense?"

"I want to go out to see an old friend. If I go to offer incense and be surrounded by guards, and the maids and mothers push me away, nothing will happen. There are our people at the back door. When the time comes, you will accompany me and I will pretend to be a little girl. Go out with you."
